Hi All:
I'm considering a 2008 Big Horn 3055RL and have a few questions about options:
1) Trail Air Pin Box: is this air-operated (as the brand name would suggest), or is it like the MohrRyde pinbox which doesn't use air and is virtually maintenace free? Is it an "extended" style?
2) Dual Pane Windows: are all windows dual pane? Can I still open all the same windows as with single-panes (incl. bedroom slide windows)? Do the dual panes have the same tint/UV inhibitor coating?
3) Ultra Leather Recliners (NOT euro chairs) - does anybody have these? Are they plush and comfortable like a LazyBoy? Is it difficult to close the slide with them in the rear?
4) Has anybody seen a heat pump option for a BigHorn?
5) High Gloss Gelcoat - I would REALLY like to ignore this option and save the $1500-$2000. Heck, I'll probably only wash my trailer 1-2 times/year anyway. Also, won't the plastic exterior parts yellow anyway? I'm not looking to win any prize for the shiniest RV; we'll just be part-time weekend campers and will be keeping it in covered storage the rest of the time. Am I nuts to avoid this option?
6) Is the convection microwave vented to the outside? If not, is this a problem? Is it large enough to cook a decent size dinner?
7) Is the "Tent in Vent" fix for A/C ducting still required on new units? Or was this due to some production issue that has since been resolved?
Thank you for the advice, and Happy upcoming New Years!
Gary
